Purpose of the study: To determine the effect of ground reaction ankle-foot orthosis (GRAFO) on balance control in children with spastic diplegiccerebral palsy (CP).Methods: Thirty children with spastic diplegia, their ages ranged from eight to twelve years participated in this study.They were assigned into two groups of equal number.The control group (A) received selected physical therapy program whereas the study group (B) received the same program while wearing bilateral GRAFOSfor three successive months. Static and dynamic balance were assessed before and after the treatment program using Biodex Balance System and Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS).Results:The results revealed no significant difference when comparing the pretreatment values of the two groups (A&B).
